Over here in the West we are expecting a rain event this weekend, starting with the first of a series of cold fronts tomorrow night.
The forecasters are tipping rain as far north as Exmouth and good falls into the wheatbelt.
These days I spend a bit of time at Moora, a couple of hours north of Perth. Farmers there have had no meaningful rain this year and when I was up there last week there were a lot of dry seeded paddocks and work was still in progress.
The same area had a really good season last year. Hopefully they can get enough over the next few days to get things started. and of course there is the all important follow-up as we move into winter proper.
Good rain overnight in WA with many parts of the wheatbelt getting a welcome drink . 60mm at Steep Point even!
The rain band is just reaching the goldfields as I type and I hope it stops there. I am off tomorrow for a trip to the Helena Aurora Range, north of Southern Cross, and a few other spots in the goldfields. Doesn't take much rain out there to turn dust to mud.
